Ermine Sea gets th confident vote here with Piety and Priors Hill rating the main dangers. The selection would win this easily on his best form and although dissapointing last time the fitting of first time blinkers looks sure to bring about some improvement and under conditions that suit he looks the one to be on. Piety rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Wannabe Posh but this looks more competitive and he may struggle under his penalty. Priors Hill would be a danger to all on his best form but he wass very dissapointing last time out so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Heart Of Svetlana looks weighted up to his best and for the winner we return to Ermine Sea who has plenty of ticks in the right boxes.
